Final render and composition. Environment modeled in Houdini and textured in Substance Painter. Animation done in Maya. Fire and ember effects done in Houdini. Rendered with Redshift. Composition edited in Nuke.

Composition and Effects Breakdown of Shot 1

Fire is simulated in Houdini using a Pyro sop solver. Emitter is driven by a fire geometry that moves with the character's hand. Air effect done using particles to advect the fire when the character blows air to shoot embers. Embers are created using particles being emitted from the same fire geometry. Those particles are then used to emit embers using a Pyro solver.

Composition and Effects Breakdown of Shot 2

Same fire and ember effect from shot 1. Used Nuke 3D tools to create backdrop and enhance ember illumination of cave.
